I run a recording studio in South America, and became very interested in Har-Bal for doing “client mix versions” before sending the material to the mastering facility. Is there any Demo Version which I can test so I can verify if it will fulfill what I need?
There is a demo player application with filters to demonstrate the capabilities of Har-Bal that you can obtain below:
https://www.har-bal.com/
If you want to be able to demo it on your own material then you have to buy it and exercise the money back guarantee should you find it unsuitable for your needs. There is no fully functional demo and we don’t intend making one available in the future.
To whomever this may concern, I am having an issue with my purchase of Har-Bal 3.0. It seems that my license is being denied or my order is not being acknowledged.
Do you mean that the software was working and now claims to be unlicensed or the software has only now been used and claims to be unlicensed? In the former this may happen if you happen to disable you network card and run Har-Bal. The key will then be invalidated and you’ll need to re-install the key (when the network card is enable) to have it work again. Also, if you change the network device or main hard drive volume name the license binding may also become invalid, in which case you need to re-create the license.
For new installs the same applies, so you should be able to remedy the problem by re-creating and installing a new license key using the credentials from your invoice, namely:
Just make sure that there are no leading or trailing spaces in the name and order number fields as this will cause the request to fail. I’ve checked and you have enough license activations left to do so.
I downloaded my purchase onto a friend’s computer and saved it to a zip drive to put into my XP studio computer. When I got it into my XP computer, it says I need a license key and it says that I have no Network card. What does that mean?
If you want to run Har-Bal you must have an active network device on the computer. We use it for licensing purposes. That does not mean you need to be connected to the internet. If you don’t have one or have disabled it, either re-enable it, or purchase a USB Ethernet device to use as a dongle. See below for more information. This was in the “How to Install” link on the web site where you downloaded the software from.
I bought my Upgrade in January 2012 and often have the problem that I always need a new license to start Har-Bal but now I got a new one and there is a big problem because I can´t start the play engine after I tried the first error message is “Failed driver begin play operation” after the second try the message is “Failed to open driver”. I tried to check my preferences but all things are fine and ok and it works with other programs…
You are running an old version which had quite a few issues fixed in it. My first suggestion is to immediately download and install the latest version of the software, Har-Bal 3.0 release 4, which you can get from the original download link.
Log in using the customer name and order number from your invoice (the same as the credentials used to create the license key).
Be sure to uninstall the previous version before installing the new one and if you change from a 32 bit to 64 bit version or visa-versa then you will need to re-create the license key. I’d also recommend deleting the HarBal.ini which you can find in the folder,
C:\Users\{your user name}\AppData\Local\Har-Bal\Har-Bal 3.0
It might also help if you delete all the intermediate files that Har-Bal created (.hba, .hbfs, .hbfr and .hbir files).
I have both the 32bit and 64bit versions on my machine and Har-Bal 3.0 is not working.
You can only install one or the other. You cannot have both versions on the same machine.
I just reinstalled Har-Bal 3.0 on my new machine and my old Har-Bal 3.0 license is not working.
When you reinstall Har-Bal 3.0 you will be prompted to create or install a license. Please choose “Create a license”, and follow the instructions.
Do you have any sample videos I can view?
All videos are located in the Har-Bal forum.
Would you be so nice and share some Mid-Side tips to give “life” to a mono lead vocal (using your Har-Bal AIR feature)?
By definition, a mono track has no side component so mid-side processing can do nothing for you. All that you can do is to stereo’ise it using cross-coupled ambiance to simulate a space. In Har-Bal 3 using about 50% air should do that pretty well.
Where are all the reference files located?
The easiest process to use if you are unfamiliar with eq’ing would be to find similar music and extract it using the process below and create a reference that you can use as a guide
Or if references are important to you can create your own reference files.
Load a sound file that is consistent with your target genre and sound great and then simply use the “File/Export reference…” menu command to export the analysis snapshot to file. That file can then be opened as a reference.
To open a file as a reference load your regular track
Click on Open Reference
Click the browse button under the Source file choice.
Click the drop down under “Files of Type” and choose Reference Files *hbref*
How can you tell if your tracks are level?
Within Har-Bal you can check your level by looking at the bottom right of your program. It is the second set of numbers from the right (Track power figure of merit). This is how you can check the loudness of your songs without losing your eardrums. Most commercial songs will be between -9.00 and -13db.
